In the second half, Northland continued to dominate. The Rams turned the ball over 14 times in the second half allowing the Lumberjacks to capitalize off the Rams mistakes. In his first game back from injury, Jack Martin (Brooklyn Park, Minn./Champlin Park) added all eight of his points in the nine minutes he played in the second half.
